Review summary

The app is praised for its intuitive design, reliability, and support for multiple projects, making GIS data collection accessible and efficient. However, users frequently cite problems with subscription verification especially offline, export functionality bugs, limited media import options, and some GPS accuracy/display issues. Overall, it is a powerful and convenient GIS tool but is hindered by crucial bugs and feature limitations, particularly around subscription handling and media integration.
Pros
  • Intuitive and easy-to-use interface, facilitating everyday GIS data collection and workflow integration.
  • Supports management of multiple projects and accommodates more data compared to previous versions or related apps.
  • Reliable performance in collecting waypoints and images, with easy export features including drag-and-drop for files.
  • Offers good style settings and clean visual design for map presentation.
  • Compatible with external GPS devices and provides decent tracking and accuracy features when functioning properly.
Cons
  • Subscription and payment-related features often do not work offline, requiring constant internet connection to verify subscription status.
  • Exporting data layers sometimes fails, with app reporting unregistered status despite active subscriptions, causing user frustration.
  • Inability to add existing images or videos from phone storage; only camera capture is supported, limiting flexibility.
  • Issues with GPS accuracy display and antenna height input not reflecting correctly in altitude measurement.
  • User interface lacks ergonomic features such as efficient layer switching and customizable marker sizes; some advanced functions like compass heading and coordinate input need improvement.

Im a mapit fan but I've just upgraded to Spatial, and it works well, but the gnss accuracy gets stuck at .75m, even on my phone gps, which is impossible. My rtk receiver also shows the same but on original mapit, It shows .01m. I'm sure its a glitch as the app with correction is very accurate, but I really need the accuracy to display correctly. Please check on this, otherwise the app is great. Follow up... turned on Arrow mode in app, fixed it.

Great App can accommodate more data than the Map pad version I use it for tracking mineral deposits reefs I can have all my data in one as individual projects however the size of the markers are too big creates a messy reef track when picking points which are within a small area a function to set marker size must be available like on the map pad app creates smart reef tracks

App is reasonable in itself but google renewal is the pits, does not provide a working subscription, if the renewal is not repeatedly rejected, which without you cannot export or edit any of your irreplaceable data.

Good app does most things well. However, although I have a subscription, when trying to export a layer it says I am am not registered. I have to try several times to make it work. Please fix that bug to get 5 stars.

This is a great app, but the paid subscription features DON'T WORK WHEN YOU'RE OFFLINE! That's a huge problem making it unusable. So, you can't add new layers if you're out of cell contact, you can't add external GPS, and numerous other features that you pay for. Absolutely crazy. The app assumed you aren't paying unless it can constantly ping to check that you are. My paid subscription is for a year. Why doesn't it just check once a year? Developers haven't replied to emails about the issue.

The app seems logical and easy to use but so far I'm not able to actively track a route AND add points to either of the point layers in the same geopackage. What am I missing? Is it necessary to stop tracking to collect point data? Or, when recording a track, is there a setting that allows the add point feature to add the points to a specific layer? Added note: it looks like assigning a projection other than EPSG 4326 fails.
